Abstract The invention relates to an assembly comprising a rolling device and two parallel guiding slideways, in which the slideways (1, 2) are constituted by cylindrical elements of different diameters. The rolling device (3) comprises an axle of rotation (4) perpendicular to the plane of the two slideways and mounted displaceably parallel between these latter, a central roller (5) mounted freely rotatably on the axle and whose diameter is such that its periphery will be in rolling contact with the slideway (2) of smaller diameter, but out of contact with the other slideway, and two outer rollers (6) freely rotatably mounted on the axle of each side of the central roller, and whose peripheral internal surface comprises a concave groove (10) in rolling contact with the slideway (1) of greater diameter, but out of contact with the other slideway. This assembly may be used particularly in lighting apparatus.
Assembly comprising rolling means and two parallel guiding slideways, characterized by the fact that the slideways are constituted by elements of which at least the confronting external walls are cylindrical, the radius of the cylindrical wall of one of these elements being greater than that of the other, and by the fact that the rolling device comprises a rotation axle perpendicular to the plane of the two slideways and mounted for movement in parallelism thereto, a central roller freely rotatably mounted on said axle and whose diameter is such that it will be in rolling contact with the slideway having the cylindrical wall of smaller radius, but out of contact with the other slideway, and two outer rollers mounted freely rotatably on said axle on each side of the central roller, and whose peripheral internal surface has a concave groove in rolling contact with the slideway having the cylindrical wall of greater radius but out of contact with the other slideway.
